Right up until the pharmaceutical industries buy the government

What the actual fuck

No, I’d be extremely shocked if every Republican politician didn’t have a huge stake in that company. That’s the point of being republican, right? To get the skinny in the latest scam?

Yeah, well, this is it. A giant skim, straight into their pockets.

Yeah. Some only live between six months and two years!

The constitution explicitly says what to do with this motherfucker. Stop being such pussies and do it.

The constitution makes it extremely clear what to do in this situation.

Do it, you fucking pussies

The point I was trying to make, though, is from some paper I read a couple of decades ago. Sorry, I can’t reference it, but it basically said that, once a species, such as ours, reaches a certain point of life expectancy, they can then start building what is basically considered, “legacy“.

Basically, we now live long enough that we understand that, for us to have any concept of long-term survival, we must make and build things that outlive us in both physically and conceptually.

That’s when they can start building empires because they stick around long enough to create culture and society and then civilization, because we’re finally living beyond a couple of generations, and we have a vested interest in passing down all of what we know and what came before that type of multi general preservation is what creates a culture.

“Everyone thinks I’m fucking crazy and senile, but I’m not, I swear! And you have only my word to take for it!”

Oh, it’ll do something… Just not enough.

Not all of them do, and the real problem is that the typically only live about six years anyway. That’s probably the bigger problem to solve.

This is like when a person goes on a diet, loses weight, then stops the diet.

And fight we do. I’ve considered myself an activist for almost 30 years now. I thought fighting for marriage equality was gonna be hard. I’m really not looking forward to this.

Same. Both my mother and my uncle liked to show off their polio vaccine scar. They were proud of it. I’m really glad they’re not like that anymore, but I absolutely am extremely thankful for the wide variety of vaccines available now.

Yeah, keeping our shit to ourselves has never really been our strong suit.

Sorry :(

That’s not really an addiction. More of a neurosis, or possibly an obsession.

Cool. I appreciate that you can back up your claims, but I don’t need to see evidence to believe that Russia is doing this shit

You shouldn’t. We were all fooled. His actions don’t reflect on you.

They were everywhere when I was a kid. I haven’t seen one in years.

They were so delightful, and I miss them.
